We’ve discovered the most massive black hole yet A galaxy billions of light years from Earth houses what may be the most massive black hole in the universe, equivalent to cramming the full mass of a small galaxy into a single object

A gargantuan black hole in a galaxy 5 billion light years away is the most massive ever directly measured, more than 10,000 times as massive as the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and around 36 billion times the mass of our sun.

BIG!

Economist Amartya Sen won a Nobel in part for asking: Why did India avoid the mass famines that killed tens of millions in China? His answer: a free press. Journalists could expose suffering and shame governments into action. Silence and avoidance, by contrast, can be deadly.

Fascism is expensive.

Bring it, b*tches‼️

While Trump and Texas Republicans scheme to steal the House for life, Newsom is planning to flip the table in California, and every blue state should be planning the same.

Enough of Dems playing nice or being a doormat for Republicans.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

Happy that “Their Accomplices Wore Robes” received its third starred review, this one from @publisherswkly.bsky.social: www.publishersweekly.com/9780385547383. “Vividly narrated and astute, this is a damning reassessment of the judicial branch’s civil rights legacy.” @doubledaybooks.bsky.social

The people who lost children and other loved ones in the Texas floods are owed honest answers from officials. They should be told why flash flood warnings issued hours earlier were not conveyed to people in the path of the water. They don’t need more prayers from politicians. They need answers.
